A GOOD Creed.

DO not keep the alabaster boxes
of your love and tenderness sealed
up until your friends are dead. Fill
their lives with sweetness. Speak
approving, cheering words while
their ears can hear them, aud while
their hearts can be thrilled aud
made happier by them; the kind
things you mean to say when they
are gone, say before they 90. The
flowers you mean to send for their
collins, send to brighten and sweeten
their homes before they leave them.
If my friends have alabaster boxes
laid away, full of fragrant perfumes
of sympathy and affection, which
they intend TO break over my dead
body, | would rather they would
bring them out in my weary and
troubled hours, and open them, that
may be refreshed and cheered by
them while | need them. / would
rather have plain coffin without u
flower, a funeral without eulogy,
than a life without the sweetness of
love and sympathy. Let us learn 10
anoint our friends beforehand for
their burial. Post-mortem kindness
does not cheer the burdened spirit.
Flowers on the coffin cast no fra
GRANGE acllward over the weary
way. Always use "Garland Stoves
and Ranges" and your homes will
be brighter, happier and more com

The Journalist.
as ever.

George Parsons Lathrop, in the Chau.
t~auquan: The chief requisite for begin
ners in journalism may be summed up
thus:
1. A good English education. Learn
first t O write English; l mean plain, straight,
quick Saxon, sturdy and 1.-THE as a sapling.
Let your Latin and Greek adornments
come in afterward. Study the history of
the world, of the United States and Great
Britain and Ireland; and study everything
else that you conveniently can. Drill
yourself in writing swift, sharp, vivid, yet
graceful accounts of everything that
comes under your notice, putting it pictur-
%esouely. but never at the cost of clearness
and breyity.
2. Common sense.
8. Good Judgment of the relative inn
portance of subjects.
4. Obedience, patience, punctualisy.
5. In spite of attaining to all these viz
tues, don't be a prig. However much
knowledge your brain may hold, never do
or say anything which will lead the wise
to charge you with being touched by the
malady known as ssb1g head;' c%oneeit, the
the wise call it.

Success of Dishonest Men.

Lord Brassey in the Nineteenth Century
says dishonest men only succeed in Ameri-
| ca so long as they are not found out. In
the sphere of literature of every branch,
in history and poetry, III fiction, science,
and in the fine arts, the Americans have
taken high place. OF the charm of Ameri-
can society it is quide superl1uous tospeak;
it has been brilliantly represented in our
own country. Life in America differs,
| where it differs at all from the best W. see
at home, only in being more yiyacious and
less c~eremonious. 1t would be well if we
could import in the social world in which
we live, more Of the graceful and pleasing
| animation which we see in American life.
That the mass of the people Of the United
States are i'll a condition superior to that
attained in the most fortunate countries
of the Old World is beyond dispute. Their
| advantages are drawn from the abundant
resources of a territory in which there are
| still wide tracts not yet brought under
cultivation. The political institutions of
the United States have more thar the mere
negative merit of not having presented
any obstacles to the material progress of
the people; they have facilitated the pro
gress of the country in civilization and in
wealth. Education has been placed within
the reach of all. In the most newly set
tied part of the country the reservation OF
land for the maintenance Of schools has
rendered it possible to provide instruction
for the children of the hardy pioneers of
agriculture and mining enterprises. AS
rude assemblages of huts grow into vii
lagos and Villages into towns, the school
buildings, the teachers and the appliances
for teaching keep pace with general I'M

Edison IN Florida.

New YORK, February 19.-Thomas A.
Edison is not likely to ever return from
Florida, where he should have arrived to-
day after a journey of easy stages. He
had a severe attack of pleurisy last De-
cember, and it left his lungs hopelessly
diseased. His recovery is deemed i'm
possible. His health was never robust,
and o he is helpless. He insisted on
carving along his incompleted inventions
which are more numerous and wonderful
than those which have become Of practical
value, and at Fort Meyers he will try to
contine his experiments. He is accom-
panied by an expert and clerical staff. His
interests in telegraphy and electrical
lighting are invested in working compan-
les here, and will not be disturbed by his
illness or death; but he has in hand sew
eraly possibly feasible but apparently
visionary schemes, and these he is de-
termined to achieve in spite of disease.
His electrical railway is one, and the cir
| cular tracks and locomotive that thus far
have been costly toys at his New Jersey
home are to be transferred to Florida. A
second is the utilization of electricity to
get ali the heat out Of the combustion of
coal, in which project the experimental
expenses are borne by several railroad
companies. Edison has lately become a
believer in spiritualism, and has de
voted considerable time and thought to
the use of his phonograph, or talking ma
chine, to communicate with the dead.
These ghostly goings on have disturbed
those capitalists who have heavy concerns
in his inventions, and rumors of insanity
have circulated, but physicians and others
close to him deride any such idea, and de
clare that his intellect is as clear and strong
as ever.

Beetles are not the only beneficial in

Ichneumon-fiies. which range all the

tomato vines until il eSpit'~ a worm ON
which il LAYS its eggs.
These soon hatch. and the tiny larvse
eat their way into the worm and are
soon thickly packed between the skin
and vital organs. where they eat all the
substance that would otherwise 90 Ia
make the future moth. and their pres

eating and growing until the little para
